YEREVAN. - Until the parliamentary elections in May Armenia's
opposition leader will not change, however, after the elections some
steps will be made towards that direction, political scientist Yervand
Bozoyan told the reporter of Armenian News-NEWS.am.
According to him, currently Heritage Party and ARF Dashnaktsutyun
consider themselves as opposition but the factor of Armenian National
Congress (ANC) leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan and his political power is
still strong. According to the expert, during the coming 3 to 4 months
no leader will appear on the political field who could compete with
Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
`Without doubt the rating of ANC has dropped over the past year and
Levon Ter-Petrosyan's rating will also drop. However that still does
not mean that a new leader will appear either in the ANC or among
other oppositional forces. Political forces which have gathered around
Levon Ter-Petrosyan do not have any other alternative than to support
him, because any party leaving ANC will appear in a desert and will
not represent any political force, the political scientist mentioned.
